Mopar in recent years has been bringing some serious muscle to the annual SEMA show. And some of the show cars have ended up as production models. Prime examples include the Dodge Viper ACR concept we saw in 2014 and the Dodge Challenger GT AWD concept we saw in 2015. The wide-body, all-wheel-drive...

The 2017 model year marks the final run of the Dodge Viper. Its 25-year run is coming to an end, and that end might be happening right now as Dodge has just halted the ordering process for the American high-performance machine. According to The Detroit News, Dodge is examining just how many cars...

The Dodge Viper is ready to bow out. The 2017 model year is the last for the ferocious beast that roars around racetracks with a V-10 heart beating loudly under its hood. A 25-year run for the Viper has been marked with plenty of highs and certainly a few lows, and the most recent generation proved...

Dodge’s wide-body Challenger is real. Prototypes for a new range-topping Challenger, one positioned above the SRT Hellcat, have been spotted testing on Michigan roads ahead of a likely market launch in 2017. This would make it a 2018 model. The prototypes are wearing standard body panels but...

This week the Dodge Challenger made headlines thanks to a report that the current model will gain an all-wheel-drive version and a wide-body Hellcat model as well. With the Challenger having received only a mild update over its nearly decade lifespan, one has to wonder if this is enough to stir...

Dodge is working on a redesign of its Challenger muscle car for 2019. In the meantime, the long-in-the-tooth current model (it’s been on sale since 2008) will continue to receive updates. For 2017 there’s a Challenger T/A that benefits from a few upgrades including some items borrowed...

A Hellcat is an expensive plaything, but a plaything nonetheless. It's a blast to play with for kids of all ages. Even those as young as 10 can appreciate it, apparently, because that's how old the kid is in these videos. We don't have much to go on but we do know that this isn't the kid's first...

The 1968 Dodge Charger is a dream car for me. It's on the list of "Cars I Must Own Before I Die," and it has a permanent home in that dream garage in my head. The lines are wonderful. The size is perfect. The noise from the available engines is glorious. There's always a chance to go for more power...

What the Dodge Viper ACR—certainly one of the most raw sports cars ever built—didn't need was more power. Wait, are we really saying that? Of course it needed more power. And the crew over at GeigerCars led by legendary German tuner Karl Geiger agreed, working over the Viper's big V-10...

It's become clear that the mega horsepower cars we all know and love aren't going away just yet. Electric cars are on the rise, but even some of those offerings pack plenty of oomph. The current king of gas-drinking, tire-slaying, noise-making goodness though, is the Dodge Challenger and Charger...

It doesn’t get more badass than this. Strapped to the dyno of Hennessey Performance Engineering is a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat dishing out hypercar-like numbers. The car features the tuner’s HPE1000 Twin Turbo package. That’s right, the folks at Hennessey have added a pair...

Fast 8 can't get here fast enough, as far as we're concerned. The franchise has become a turn-your-brain off action fest with cars serving as stars shining as brightly as the rest of the cast. It's always fun finding out which vehicles are going to get the bright-lights treatment. It's usually a...

Despite the Viper being the flagship of the Dodge brand, it’s outmuscled by the Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat when it comes to outright power. And we’re not talking small numbers here. The Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat each make do with 707 horsepower versus the 645 hp of the...

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] in June confirmed that production of the Dodge Viper would soon be coming to an end and that the 2017 model year would be the car’s last. No reason was given for the Viper’s demise but with sales slowing to a trickle (just 676 were sold in all of...

Dodge has had a devil of a time selling its Viper supercar. Now it looks like the answer was to offer a bunch of special edition models, then to kill off the car. The company has announced that four of the five special edition models it just announced last week are already sold out. This is despite...

What's being billed as the ultimate playground for car enthusiasts in the Detroit area has a new, rather appropriate sponsor: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Dodge division. The playground isn't your typical sandbox. Instead, M1 Concourse is set to include a racetrack, more than 80 private garages...

Dodge confirms what's been painfully obvious for a while now: that the Viper will die. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] confirmed today that the Viper's final model year will be 2017, and that a series of final editions will send it off to history's big garage after a 25-year run. Since 1992...

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] in its five-year strategy announcement made in May 2014 stated that a new Dodge Charger would be launched in 2018. Reports last year claimed the new Charger’s launch had been pushed back to 2019 or perhaps even later. Now we’re hearing that a new...

It's the one kind of car you'll see every single day that we guarantee you wouldn't pass up the chance to drive: A police car. There's no question that Jay Leno is living just about every car enthusiast's dream with his Jay Leno's Garage web series. In this latest episode, he checks out a 1961...

You should make this into your ring tone. Like, right now. Listening to a Dodge Viper ACR with a straight-pipe exhaust rev its big V-10 engine is probably the reason you're a car enthusiast. We're not entirely sure of the back story on this video, but that doesn't really matter when there's a...
